School Captains & Prefects (2 Viewers)

[Gigacube]

So we're in the final term of year 11. :/ Is anyone planning on going for prefect or school captain?

I'll probably try out for prefect but not school captain as prefects don't have to do as much but still get the title. Or I could go for vice but that also requires a lot of work.

I'm just hoping we don't have to make a speech for prefect. I think at my school teachers vote on prefects & then to be a captain you have to make a speech & be voted in by your peers & teachers. Usually it turns out to be a popularity contest.

It is always a popularity contest.

I am sure in some hearts of humans, they will look for the quality of leadership rather than friendship.

Confirmed.

Me and a mate got 2 of the 5 positions because of how we did our speech - pretty much just abused each other.

Popularity contests.

Iunno, most people who get into prefect/school captain abuse their power. And they don't do jack - at least they don't really care; all they want is a nice title on their resume. They even TELL me this =.=.

It isn't a popularity contest at our school. We vote for whoever will stand and lead us.

That's why it is a popularity contest...

At my school, school captain, vice & treasurer is based on popularity as students have the primary vote for these.
Prefects are mainly based on teacher votes.

But we've had a string of good captains, not popular. But they are good leaders.

Try out for school captain & then we shall call you Captain SpiralFlex.

I don't know. I am not worthy to lead yet. Especially being the captain of delicious humans.

I won't be able to resist, delicious faces smiling at me during assembly.

Haha, you're definitely one evil non-human.

Yep, Male/Female Captains and Vice Captains, and a Secretary otherwise there are no Year 12 SRC or "prefects" at my school.

What exactly are the advantages of being a Captain? What qualities do teachers look for?
